Someone in another Forum had posted this, which sound very relevant to your case and I agree to that point.
"Your 180 days will be completed until a future date so no AC21 porting for now. I guess, if you can make sure that your company does not revoke your I-140 (at least till that 180 days), you should be good. In the mean time, you can join another compny on EAD. I read somewhere in the forums that in case of layoffs (<180 days), one should get a letter from the company that states that they are laying you off NOT that you are resigning. This letter sometimes helps if USCIS issues RFE."
First of all you are not laid off yet, so relax. In case you are, keep that letter - an important one for you, even later if you apply for Naturalization process. Since you are in good terms with your employer, hopefully they will not deliberately revoke the I-140 Petition for your application. In case you are laid off, start looking for other similar jobs (similar skill set, similar title etc). But that's just to be cautious. You should be alright my friend to receive Green Card pretty soon. Your days are numbered - I mean as a non-immigrant.
Btw, is your company an IT consulting company? Hopefully not, from your question. If yes, then it shouldn't be a problem finding another job in current market.
Any good lawyer? Unfortunately the attorney that was used by my company is a piece of cardboard so I cannot be much helpful there.
